The Beast Swallowed by the Flower (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 137
Dwayne couldn’t find the words to say.
With war looming, a great deal of money was needed for it.
Since Everett was diligently managing the imperial household finances, he had planned to divert a portion of the operating budget toward war funds—but after seeing the remaining funds, it seemed miraculous if they even made it through the year.
“I—I thought you’d handle things wisely. Um… Even if the Empress might be a little inexperienced and make mistakes, I believed you’d take good care of her.”
“Have Your Majesty forgotten the words you spoke when appointing her as Empress?”
Dwayne couldn’t recall.
But Everett, upon hearing Dwayne’s sharp, cutting words, clearly remembered.
“You told me never to interfere with the Empress’s duties, saying she was a mature and wise woman who would manage everything well herself—and that if you ever heard I’d obstructed her, your jealous self would have no choice but to depose me.”
Now that he thought about it, it did seem that way.
Dwayne’s face flushed bright red.
“Still, there were a few times I thought something major might happen, so I advised the Empress to wait a little longer and assess the situation before investing. The very next day, Your Majesty came and raged at me for quite some time—telling me to stop being jealous of the Empress.”
Everett, who had been speaking calmly, gave an elegant smile.
“How could I possibly stop the Empress now? Your Majesty would surely scold me again.”
“Th-that’s… Do you really remember every single little thing like that? Shouldn’t an Empress show broader magnanimity?”
“Look at this. It’s my fault again.”
Male lead fell into her trap — and shattered when she walked away
This is also on my reread list!
This one is a slow burn, but when it burns, it burns hard.
Definitely worth a read, y’all!
The story follows a thousand-year-old seductive spirit who, on a bet, sets out to charm the male lead—a once-promising but unfortunate cultivator.
But just when she succeeds in making him fall for her, she heartlessly leaves, driving him to madness.
Determined to find her at all costs, he captures her, keeping her by his side no matter what, even if she hates him.
I love this kind of trope—I enjoy watching the male lead suffer in agony.
The ending drags a bit with unnecessary filler, but that’s fine.
As long as I enjoy the beginning, I’m good.
